This state-of-the-art, 122,000-square-foot science building, completed in 2005, houses the biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy and meteorology departments. The facility includes classrooms, lecture auditoria, a greenhouse, an observatory, the WCSU Weather Center and research laboratories, including the Boehringer Ingleheim Biochemistry Lab.

The new science building is the first state-funded building project to seek LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The Council works to promote environmentally responsible and sustainable buildings.
